Pagans?? you don't believe in trinity or triple gods anymore?

Question

I just saw an answer from a christian who said that pagans don't believe in a trinity.. tell me, is that true?

lmao fireball, honey.. you need to learn something about pagans then.. those who are polytheists DO believe in trinity.. they just call it youth/father/sage or maiden/mother/crone rather than father/son/holy spirit.. it's something you christians took from paganism.

Yes trinity/triple gods.. three aspects of one deity.. honestly, you christians should educate yourselves.. your belief has pagan roots.

Answer 1

There are countless trinities from different pantheons. Most are along the maiden/mother/crone and son/father/sage line but also there are ones like Brid poet/smith/healer (mind you She was stolen by the Catholics and turned into St. Bridget). The idea of trinity goes back to long lost religions and are not a new concept.

Answer 2

Perhaps the Christian was referring to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Probably some pagans do believe in that, we are a big group of people with a lot of different beliefs. Some pagans prefer the Maiden, Mother, and Crone, which is the Triple Goddess of Wiccan thealogy. Some don't believe in any "outside" deities, some believe that the deities represent the immanent presence of the Goddess and the God from the Earth and from within ourselves.

Pagans are a free bunch, and just about all beliefs are OK, except harming others is a no no.

You decide.

Answer 3

we are residing in a submit cutting-part worldwide. there is not any longer something incorrect with being pagan. it truly is now no longer an insult. each and every voice in the worldwide has appropriate to be heard with casting a judgment upon it. even although Pagan and Trinitarian have distinctive paradigms. i might describe Pagans being linear. Pagans and compatible human beings count sort 3 gods a million + a million + a million = 3. while Christianity is 3 dimensional with height, intensity and breadth. Trinitarians count sort each and every component as one arriving at a single component in a matrix (a million,a million,a million). it truly is a distinctive theory altogether. it truly is only an analogy. somebody might think of up a extra clever one. definite there are similarities yet there are important abnormal alterations that are truly lost.

The Trinity’s Early Origins

The Bible tells of many gods and goddesses that people worshiped, including Ashtoreth, Milcom, Chemosh, and Molech. (1 Kings 11:1, 2, 5, 7) Even many people in the ancient nation of Israel once believed that Baal was the true God. So Jehovah’s prophet Elijah presented the challenge: “If Jehovah is the true God, go following him; but if Baal is, go following him.”—1 Kings 18:21.

The worship of pagan gods grouped in threes, or triads, was also common before Jesus was born. “From Egypt came the ideas of a divine trinity,” observed historian Will Durant. In the Encyclopædia of Religion and Ethics, James Hastings wrote: “In Indian religion, e.g., we meet with the trinitarian group of Brahmā, Siva, and Viṣṇu; and in Egyptian religion with the trinitarian group of Osiris, Isis, and Horus.”

Answer 5

Heh . . . *zing*

You're going to have to aim lower for Fireball, man.

Even heathens originally grouped things into threes, although the burlier ones nowadays pretend not to notice, so as not to be confused with those dang glitter-flinging faery-winged Wiccans *G*

At Uppsala, godhstangs were raised to Odhinn, Thor, and FreyR. That's OUR "trinity."

In Southern Germany, the Cult of the Matronae (venerated in Scandinavia and in modern heathenry as the Disr) were always depicted as a grouping of three goddesses, and yes, though heathens HATE to admit it . . . there's a young one, a motherly one, and an old one in most of the images. This is also thought to be the source of the "Three Marys" imagery in the xian gospels: Mary Magdalene (maiden), the Virgin Mary (mother) and Mary the mother of John the Baptist (crone; she bore in her old age).

Answer 6

hehehe

Now Kallan, you know how it goes with the good old misinformed fundies. We all bow down to Satan and sacrifice guppies with silver plated steak knives while dancing naked under a shooting star, remember?

Seriously, he/she just doesn't realize that the Pagan trinity is often the maiden/mother/crone or youth/elder/sage trio.

Answer 7

Not al pagan faiths have a trinity deity but yes some do.

Answer 8

No doubt, some pagans still believe in trinities.

Although they won't admit it, false Christians believe in the trinity too, although the Bible says nothing about God being triune. They have a God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If you add that up, its THREE GODS. However, they will tell you that it adds up to one God. Does that make sense? It must because I have 3 thumbs down so far. How sad.

Answer 9

Depends on the Pagan, I suppose? But "Maiden/Mother/Crone" seems to be a pretty common triad...

Answer 10

Eh? Well, I suppose it's possible that some Pagans don't, I do.... Mother, Maid, and Crone would be one example.....
